Swim

35m
1200.00 yards
02m 55s /100 yards

5x100 @ 16 strokes / length. Warmup 200 was in 4:06, same as before.

It seems like I can switch pretty easily from my long stroke to my inefficient shorter one... When I'm long-stroking it, I really grab the water more. Takes a lot of work.

All the 100's are in 2:03 ... This is with a really slow stroke rate - i'm almost doing catchups.

I'll really be pushing it this next month... 1) I am trying to do a good job on a project at work, 2) studying for a test and applying to a school, 3) trying to get in shape, which includes a) swim challenge and b) weight lifting. Social life will be going by the wayside a little bit...

Assisted pullup weight = myweight - weight stack, which was 80 lbs.

Back bridge = 1 min.

I checked some videos on youtube, and I think I'm not going down far enough with the deadlifts. Will have to work on that.
